Whether it's having Disney character Elsa carve out snowflakes in the lands of "Frozen" or creating bridges to cross over lava in the game Minecraft, several students at Island View Elementary School have been spending the last month or so learning to teach computers to do what they want them to do. Kids Who Code is a new program this year being implemented by AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer with the Anacortes School District Melissa Davis.

Artificial intelligence is now quite adept at crunching vast amounts of data and using it to draw conclusions. As a result, humans who rely solely on procedural thinking aren't as valuable as they once were. What we need now are abstract thinkers who are deeply immersed in the Big Ideas made possible through computation. But traditionally, that's not how universities have sought out, categorized, or educated computer science students.

Coding is now as essential as math and science. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be more than one million unfilled tech jobs in just two short years. That means now more than ever, a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) education is crucial for preparing the next generation for success.

It's high time for students to move beyond an hour of coding exercises and learn computational thinking. That's the message of a new report from Digital Promise that examines what's important to know and be able to do in a "computational world." Digital Promise is a nonprofit that that promotes the use of innovation in education, particularly as it uses digital technologies.

The digital divide still exists, but has shown signs of narrowing over the past six years, according to a recent study of media use by students under 8 years old by Common Sense Media. Although students in higher-income families still have an overall advantage in access to a home computer and high-speed internet, their counterparts in lower-income families have essentially cut the gap in half in both categories.

Year after year, educators and those invested in education love to speculate about what will take off in the near future. And as far as riveting news goes, nothing quite peaks the interest like new trends that have the potential to fundamentally change learning. In almost all of the commentary from both educators and industry, the mention of AR and VR for 2018’s big trends were ubiquitous. So much so, we could only include just a few AR/VR pieces here in our inaugural "eSchool Media's Annual Trends Report," which compiles some of the most practical, forward-looking predictions from educators and industry on what will trend for the upcoming year in both K-12 and higher education.
